What is the Hydra-70 M151 Prototype OTA (Albers) contract?

The U.S. Army's Aviation Rocket and Small Guided Munitions (ARSGM) Product Office, via the One Nation Innovation (ONI) marketplace, awarded Albers Aerospace an individual Other Transaction Authority (OTA) prototype agreement (announced early August 2026) to diversify the Hydra-70 rocket industrial base beyond sole-source producer General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS). Albers must deliver 24 prototype Hydra-70 M151 high-explosive rockets and a modernized Technical Data Package (TDP) within 18 months — one of four separate, individually-awarded OTAs (alongside Firehawk, iRocket, and Nammo Perry), not a single shared multi-awardee action. No dollar value or award ID was disclosed by the Army; Albers did not respond to Breaking Defense's request for comment.
